Liu Xinghua is very proud now. His Xianghe column finally achieved a brilliant victory. It performed well in the Battle of Zhengzhou and successfully intercepted the Kuomintang army fleeing north from Zhengzhou. This time, more than 3,000 prisoners were taken, and they got There are countless baggage, equipment, weapons and ammunition, so that his entire Xianghe column can be adequately supplemented. At this time, Liu Xinghua was like a nouveau riche who suddenly made a lot of money, and he couldn't help but be happy.
However, after the victory in the Battle of Zhengzhou, the Xianghe Column still had no time to spare. It had just been resting in the liberated area in the mountainous area of ??central Henan for less than two weeks when the new combat plan of the Central Plains Military Region had been conveyed. According to According to the instructions of Liu Bocheng, the commander-in-chief of the Central Plains Field Army, the Xianghe Column, together with the neighboring Wang Yong's First Column, were to move eastward to the Woyang and Mengcheng areas of Anhui Province. Obviously, a new battle was coming.
After the mobilization meeting carefully planned by Political Commissar Xiong Zhuoran, the morale of the soldiers of the Xianghe Column was high for a while. Even the former captured soldiers of the National Army who had just been incorporated into the army knew the purpose of the battle and what they were fighting for. , followed by the slogan of defeating Chiang Kai-shek and liberating all of China.
Although the weather is getting colder, the training of the Xianghe Column is in full swing. In view of the gains and losses in several battles with the enemy's reorganized 11th Division, reorganized Fifth Army and other main forces of the national army, each column of the Central Plains Field Army and the East China Field Army made a serious summary and began to study how to deal with strong firepower but hedgehog integration. A group of enemy tactics, especially battles for villages and street battles in villages and towns, in order to find the best plan, how to quickly and effectively break through the enemy's defense line while minimizing casualties, thereby gaining the upper hand on the battlefield. initiative. This is a very difficult task. Not only the column commanders of the Central Plains Field Army such as Liu Xinghua and Wang Yong are frowning and thinking carefully, but also Qianjun generals like Liu Bocheng and Su Yu have to think hard. However, Liu Xinghua finally made some small gains. For this battle of Zhengzhou, he used trench encirclement warfare, but achieved certain results. Perhaps, this combat method can be applied to deal with Zhang Xian's 11th Division of the Kuomintang in the future. in the battle.
Liu Xinghua was very enthusiastic about military training, so he could only put it aside temporarily and lead the Xianghe column to move to the northern Anhui area in accordance with the orders from above. This transfer must be to open up a new battlefield and at the same time open up a new liberated area. Therefore, according to the instructions above, the Xianghe Column is moving, taking the rear hospital and the logistics organization department with it, and heading there New areas.
This trip to the east is different from the past. Zhengzhou and Xuchang are basically controlled by the People's Liberation Army. Therefore, when crossing the Pinghan-Hankou Railway, we don't have to sneak over at night like before. This time we can swagger across the railway line. Crossing the railroad in broad daylight. However, the Kuomintang fighters and reconnaissance planes were still circling in the sky at this time. In order to avoid the enemy's reconnaissance and attacks and reduce unnecessary trouble, Liu Xinghua decided that the troops would operate at night and rest during the day.
Wu Xiaoyang was very puzzled. When marching at night, he couldn't help complaining about the stones around him: "I really don't understand. It's different now. This is our territory. Why, Commander?" We still have to be so cautious. Even though we can walk well during the day, we have to cross the railway in the dark at night. As a result, we all become night owls. Look, many people fall asleep while walking!"
He Dashuan, who was walking beside him, became dissatisfied: "Brother Xiao Wu, the commander must be right!"
Wu Xiaoyang turned around and glared at him, and said unhappily: "How many times have I told you, either call me Wu Xiaoyang or Brother Wu, don't add a small character in front!"
He Dachuan stuck out his tongue and said quickly: "Yes! Brother Wu!" In fact, he also knew that Wu Xiaoyang never liked others calling him "Brother Xiao Wu" in front of him, but behind his back, everyone called him that, and he also He said it smoothly, but forgot to change his words for a moment.
"I didn't say that the commander was wrong!" Wu Xiaoyang defended: "I just think that now that we have captured Zhengzhou and Xuchang, we are still walking in such a sneaky way. It is really cowardly. Why can't we How about leaving openly?"
"I think the commander must have his own ideas!" He Dachuan explained. After all, he was a person who had read books, and he had more things on his mind than Wu Xiaoyang.
"Haha, Wu Xiaoyang, what are you saying bad things about me again?" A loud and familiar voice came from behind everyone.
Shitou couldn't help but grinned and whispered: "It's the commander!"
Wu Xiaoyang was also extremely embarrassed. When he turned around, he saw Liu Xinghua and Xiong Zhuoran following from behind. They were not riding horses.The enemy's 12th Corps will be stationed in Suxian County, and the blocking of the 12th Corps actually serves this target. If the enemy's 12th Corps only enters Fuyang and does not cross the Yinghe River, then it will be impossible for the main force in the middle and field to complete their capture of Suxian County. The target has little impact. The Xianghe Column and the First Column can confront each other across the bank, just in case. If the enemy's 12th Corps continues to advance north, then the Xianghe Column and the First Column must resolutely block it. There is no room for negotiation at all. ! In order to strengthen the blocking power of the two columns, troops from the Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu Military Regions under the Central Plains Military Region will also participate to cooperate with the Xianghe Column and the Zhongye First Column to complete their tasks.
This is undoubtedly the final order. It can be imagined that in fact, for this battle, the Central Plains Field Army Headquarters also deployed its entire army. There were no other troops to dispatch. After all, the Xianghe Column was so dealing with the enemy's 18th Army. Many times, both in terms of experience and ability, they are unmatched by other columns, which is why Liu Bocheng gave them such an important task.
"Old man! This time a tough battle is coming!" Liu Xinghua took this final telegram and finally made up his mind and said to Xiong Zhuoran beside him.
Xiong Zhuoran also nodded and said: "Yes, it looks like the Central Military Commission is preparing us to cooperate with the East China Field Army in a decisive battle!"
"Yeah!" Liu Xinghua nodded. At this time, all the troops of the East China Field Army and the Central Plains Field Army were gathering in Xuzhou. The determination of the Central Military Commission no longer needs to be expressed, that is, to fight a big battle in the Huaibei area, and this Judging from this posture, the battle should be bigger than the last battle in eastern Henan. The People's Liberation Army marched towards Xuzhou, and the same was true for the Kuomintang army. Xuzhou has always been a battleground for military strategists. From early on, large armies have been pressing down on the territory.
"Old Liu, if you want to take action, you have to hurry up!" Xiong Zhuoran reminded Liu Xinghua: "We have reliable news that the enemy's 12th Corps set out from the Zhumadian area yesterday, splitting the troops into two groups and heading towards Fuyang. It is estimated that this By that time, they had already arrived in the Zhengyang and Runan areas, and were much closer to Fuyang than us. Even if we could reach Zhoujiakou tomorrow, we would still be three hundred miles away from Fuyang! If we continue to march at this speed, we will not be able to reach Fuyang at all. Maybe we can get to the north bank of Ying River before they arrive in Fuyang."
Liu Xinghua nodded and said helplessly: "There is no other way. We have to step up our march day and night. We must reach Yinghe in front of them!"
"We are marching during the day, but we have to worry about enemy plane bombings!" Xiong Zhuoran said.
"There is no way!" Liu Xinghua said: "We have to ask everyone to do air defense and concealment work at the same time!"
Xiong Zhuoran also nodded, that¡¯s all he can do now.
After thinking for a while, Liu Xinghua continued: "Old Xiong, the troops will take a short rest today. Tomorrow I will take Zhang Yi and Xiao Wu to the north to find Commander Wang Yong of the first column. We must discuss with him how we can. The action plan of the two columns, you and the troops cannot stop, you have to hurry up and hurry up, I will chase you later!"
"Okay!" Xiong Zhuoran agreed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
